Cheerleading

Cheerleading is one of the fastest-growing sports in the UK, combining high energy, teamwork, gymnastics, acrobatics, and dance.

The Oxford Brookes Cheer and Dance Club has been thriving for 15 seasons, offering a dynamic environment for cheerleaders and dancers of all abilities and experience levels. Many of our athletes discover cheerleading for the first time during their time at university.

In 2023, Eleanor Houlbrooke, who competes for Team England in Pom, was honoured as the TEAMBrookes Sportswoman of the Year. The club's coaches Sophie Welton and Mashid Fardjpour also won the Coach of the Year award in 2020.
